Classic Film/old war movie

QuestionI remember watching a movie years ago...im 45....and it was brothers fighting in war but also i remember it showing them as kids too. I remember one scene they were kids playing with swords and around a suit of armour. I thought on of the names i remember was Bo Jess. Have no clue of the correct spelling. I think some of the war scenes were in the desert. I remember crying when atleast one of the brothers died. Thanks for any help

AnswerHi Angie,

Thanks for your question. You actually almost had the title of the film in Your description !!
The main character's name,(played by Gary Cooper),....is BEAU GESTE, which is the title of the 1939 film!

It had an all-star cast, including Ray Milland and Robert Preston as Beau's brothers, and also Brian Donlevy, and Susan Hayward. It was a great success in 1939 (having first been made as a 1926 silent movie),...and was later remade in color in 1966.
